KEY TITLEWhat Next for Sustainable Development?Our Common Future at ThirtyEdited by James Meadowcroft, Carleton University, Canada, David Banister, University of Oxford, UK, Erling Holden, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Oluf Langhelle, University of Stavanger, Kristin Linnerud and Geoffrey Gilpin, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway‘This book is a masterful round up of 30 years of sustainable development thinking by some of the topic’s most renowned and deep thinkers. The authors expose the progress made in the last 30 years, but also many gaps, flaws and more dangerous trends accompanying our times.

This book thus is a timely summary and renewed introduction to a complex and engaging body of thought, a path forward for the possibility of global human progress in troubled times.’

Agents, Assumptions and Motivations Behind REDD+Creating an International Forest RegimeSimone Lovera-Bilderbeek is the Executive Director of the Global Forest Coalition. She is based in Asunción, ParaguayIt was hoped that by paying forest dependent peoples and countries for their “service” of conserving their forests, REDD+ would lead to a reduction in deforestation greenhouse gases. The complexities have, however, left some ambiguities. It was never agreed who would pay for the program, and it has been criticized as ignoring the root causes of forest loss. Considering the motivations of those who promoted REDD+ this book proposes remedies to its shortfalls and recommends more efficient, equitable and effective conservation policies.

The Robot RevolutionUnderstanding the Social and Economic ImpactThe late John Hudson, formerly University of Bath, UKIn the coming decades robots and artificial intelligence will fundamentally change our world. In doing so they offer the hope of a golden future, but there are dangers. This book looks at both the history of robots, in science and in fiction, as well as the science behind robots. Specific chapters analyse the impact of robots on the labour market, people’s attitudes to robots, the impact of robots on society, and the appropriate policies to pursue to prepare our world for the robot revolution. Overall the book strikes a cautionary tone. Robots will change our world dramatically and they will also change human beings. These important issues are examined from the perspective of an economist, but the book is intended to appeal to a wider audience in the social sciences and beyond.

The relationship between gender and violence is complex, and constitutive. This Handbook provides analytical tools for thinking through this complexity and points us to the multiple intersections of gender with other vectors of inequality and identity, as well as with policy frameworks, activisms, and resistances. The breadth of perspectives allows us to see how embedded gender violence is in social, political and economic life.’

Their distinctive feminist perspectives challenge outmoded 19th and 20th century masculinist views on the state, state building and nation building. The result is a refreshing, inclusive reframing of state-society relations and a prudential approach to intervention.’

This comes at precisely the moment when the current phase of (neo-liberal) globalisation, arguably the third after late Victorian globalisation and international Keynesianism, shudders and stutters in the wake of the uncertainties and instabilities introduced by the 2008 global financial crisis and the triumph of Trumpism in America.’

NEWHaven: Intervening for Human Security in the Mediterranean CrisisEdited by John Morrissey, NUI Galway, IrelandThe Mediterranean refugee crisis presents states across Europe with a common security challenge: how to intervene responsibly in mitigation and support. This book seeks to advance the UN concept of ‘human security’ in showing how a human security approach to the crisis can effectively conceptualize and respond to the intricacies of the challenges faced. It argues for a politics of solidarity in proffering integrated solutions that call out the failure of top-down, statist security measures. Leading international authors from a range of disciplines document key dimensions of the crisis, including: the legal mechanisms enabling or blocking asylum; the biopolitical systems for managing displaced peoples; and the multiple, overlapping historical precedents of today’s challenges.

The Ethics of CompetitionHow a Competitive Society is Good for AllChristoph Lütge, Technical University of Munich, GermanyThe concept of competition is frequently regarded with ambivalence. While its champions wholeheartedly endorse it for reasons of efficiency, critics believe competition undermines ethics. They denounce competitive thinking, call for modesty in profit-making, and rail against economisation. However, Christoph Lütge argues convincingly that intensified competition can work in favour of ethical goals, and that many criticisms of competition stem from an inadequate understanding of how modern societies and economies function. The author illustrates his view with examples from ecology, healthcare and education, and concludes with a call for more entrepreneurial spirit.


The Political Economy of SustainabilityFred P. Gale, University of Tasmania, Australia‘Gale’s book is a must-read for anyone interested in the complex history and multi-faceted nature of value and valuation.

It will help to build the transdisciplinary bridges so critical to solving our current problems and creating a sustainable and desirable future.’

NEWA Political Economy of African RegionalismsAn Overview of Asymmetrical DevelopmentWil Hout and M.A. Mohamed Salih, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands‘Hout and Salih have provided a tour d’horison of African regionalisms – a project that has dominated many of the discussions at continental and sub-regional level. As Africa enters a new chapter in its continental integration, the African Continental Free Trade Area, and as the AU aims to silence the guns, this academic work provides an essential analysis of the specificities and challenges of African regionalism and the multiple asymmetries that have come to define it and impact on its effectiveness. Critically, this analysis eschews a European-determined framework of regionalism. Hout and Salih have painted a holistic picture of the successes and weaknesses of the regional integration project, providing a pragmatic, yet not cynical perspective, of the road that still needs to be traversed.’

Cities and Regions in CrisisThe Political Economy of Sub-National Economic DevelopmentMartin Jones, Staffordshire University, UKOffering a geographical political economy analysis, this book explores the mechanisms, institutions, and spaces of subnational economic development. Martin Jones innovatively examines how policy-makers frame problems and offer intervention solutions in different cities and regions. Drawing on different approaches to state intervention, neoliberalism, crisis and contradiction theories, and notions of depoliticisation, this book explains policy failure and how it is impacted by flux surrounding economic development. With constant changes to legislation, institutional initiatives, and ministerial responsibility, local and regional economic development is shown to be at a critical crossroads.

NEWGeofinance Between Political and Financial GeographiesA Focus on the Semi-Periphery of the Global Financial SystemEdited by Silvia Grandi, University of Bologna, Italy, Christian Sellar, University of Mississippi, US and Juvaria Jafri, City, University of London, UK‘In examining the boundaries between political and financial geographies, Grandi, Sellar and Jafri pose important questions about the nature and interrelations of geography, law, science, politics and finance. Their volume represents a rich tapestry that examines the evolution of international financial institutions as well as their social, political and economic ramifications across “semi-peripheral financial areas”. The emphasis on the complex web of relations between governments, firms and households across under-represented locations deepens the reader’s understanding of the intricate flows of finance as they operate across time and place, with a geo-political focus that links power, politics and policy. This is an impressive volume that will speak to academics and practitioners with an interest in financial geography alike.’

Social Imaginaries of SpaceConcepts and CasesBernard Debarbieux, University of Geneva, Switzerland

Translated from French by Sheila Malovany Chevallier‘Debarbieux continues to traverse with ease the Anglophone/Francophone border in social theory with this most recent work, a creative and highly readable exploration of the political significance of social imaginaries of space. Through a series of conceptual essays and related case studies, or in his terms “detours”, he crafts an intriguing, jargon-free narrative that examines the spatial imaginings that have generated the territorial ideals and practices of modern states and nations. Debarbieux further demonstrates that while the rhetoric of post-nationalism and globalization has changed the content of these imaginaries, it has not diminished their constitutive role. His is a cosmopolitan vision but one that does not dismiss the power of particularism, especially evident in the place loyalties that have become so prominent in current national and global political debate.’

Making Policies WorkFirst- and Second-order Mechanisms in Policy DesignEdited by Giliberto Capano, University of Bologna, Italy, Michael Howlett, Simon Fraser University, Canada, M Ramesh and Altaf Virani, National University of SingaporePolicy design efforts are hampered by inadequate understanding of how policy tools and actions promote effective policies. This book addresses this gap in understanding by proposing a causal theory of the linkages between policy actions and policy effects. Adopting a mechanistic perspective, the book identifies the causal processes that activate effects and help achieve goals. It thus offers a powerful analytical tool to both scholars and practitioners of public policy seeking to design effective policies.

Public Policy





















Advanced Introduction to Public PolicyB. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh, US Making effective public policies is a difficult task, but considering policymaking as a problem of design analogous to architecture or engineering can assist in that process. This book outlines three components of policy design: understanding the causes behind the problem being addressed; identifying means of intervention, including selection and implementation of policy instruments; and evaluation and development of good policy understanding.


Advanced Introduction to Social InnovationFrank Moulaert, KU Leuven, Belgium and Diana MacCallum, Curtin University, Australia‘Committed to finding common ground beyond the rift and confusion that has characterised debates around social innovation over the past 10 years, Moulaert and MacCallum offer an authoritative contribution that depicts social innovation as a continuum of positions cross-cutting academia, grassroots movements and policy practice. Focusing on the ethics of this continuum, they argue, can open a path to a more inclusive world. The book is conceptually and methodologically rigorous and empirically informed, yet written in a didactic and accessible manner. It will form a key reading for academics, policy makers and activists who want to clarify and enrich their thinking and practice around social innovation.’

By focusing on the differences and intersections between four competing perspectives – rational, political, institutional, and cultural – Public Policy in Action offers a useful framework that helps to move the field forward.’

By emphasizing street-level bureaucracy as the “ground floor” of government, Peter Hupe and his collaborators have provided a number of new insights into the behaviour and importance of those public servants who are in day-to-day contact with citizens.

Public Policy




















KEY TITLEInterrogating Public Policy TheoryA Political Values PerspectiveLinda Courtenay Botterill, University of Canberra and Alan Fenna, Curtin University, Australia‘In this provocative volume, Botterill and Fenna make a strong case that the policy sciences have gone wrong, almost from the start, in embracing the rational chimera of an ordered and evidence-informed policy process while ignoring or downplaying the messy, value-laden, struggle which actually is public policy-making. Building from a cogent critique of three of the major contemporary frameworks in the policy sciences – the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) and the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET) – the authors argue that the insights which can be gleaned from political sciences-based research into public values, discourses, ideologies and conflicts serves as a much better base from which to construct a new Policy Science.’

How Far to Nudge?Assessing Behavioural Public Policy Peter John, King’s College London, UK‘A fascinating and thoughtful reflection on the important story of ‘nudge’ to date, and ways it could change to have wider and more lasting impacts.

And a challenge on applying this thinking to a much wider range of public policy issues at local level.’

Public Policy CirculationArenas, Agents and ActionsEdited by Tom Baker, University of Auckland, New Zealand, Christopher Walker, Australia and New Zealand School of Government, Australia‘Policy diffusion, then policy transfer and now “policy circulation”. The movement of policy not only across countries but also across time, between policy sectors and through different arenas of governance is a defining feature of our times. This book captures the circulation – how policy is trafficked and transformed in the process of its movement across these dimensions. A ‘tour de force’, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand how and why policy moves.’

Beyond Public PolicyA Public Action Languages ApproachPeter Kevin Spink, Getulio Vargas Foundation, Brazil‘The language we use shapes and limits our understanding of the problems we face and the solutions we can imagine. In this elegant and insightful book, rich with historical byways and international perspectives, Peter Spink reflects on how the currently dominant discourse of “public policy” molds our perceptions of possible answers to social problems. This insight is particularly welcome as social movements, community organizations, migration flows and many other forces – all outside the realm of government – influence public actions and institutions.’

Handbook on Science and Public PolicyEdited by Dagmar Simon, WZB Berlin Social Science Center, Germany, Stefan Kuhlmann, University of Twente, the Netherlands, Julia Stamm, SCIENCE LEADS, Berlin, Germany and University of Queensland, Australia and Weert Canzler, WZB Berlin Social Science Center, Germany‘Without any doubt, the relation between scientific practices and public policies has changed considerably over the past quarter of a century. Internationalization has increased, in the form of both co-operation and competition. Innovation has become a policy keyword for assessing scientific outcome, while scholars themselves have observed changes in knowledge production. New indicators for assessing scientific quality and impact have proliferated, and they are increasingly used as policy tools. Rich in both substance and diversity, this volume makes a big step towards providing a much-needed comprehensive assessment of a wide range of interrelated changes in the relation between science and public policy.’

Meidinger, SUNY Buffalo School of Law, US, Burkard Eberlein, York University, Canada and Kenneth W. Abbott, Arizona State University, USFrom agriculture to sport and from climate change to indigenous rights, transnational regulatory regimes and actors are multiplying and interacting with poorly understood effects.

NEWGlobal Challenges, Governance, and ComplexityApplications and FrontiersEdited by Victor Galaz, Stockholm University and Swedish Academy of Sciences, SwedenThere is an increased interest in integrating insights from the complexity sciences to studies of governance and policy. While the issue has been debated, and the term of ‘complexity’ has multiple and sometimes contested interpretations, it is also clear the field has spurred a number of interesting theoretical and empirical efforts. The book includes key thinkers in the field, elaborates on different analytical approaches in studying governance, institutions and policy in the face of complexity, and showcases empirical applications and insights.


NEWPolitical Corruption in AfricaExtraction and Power PreservationEdited by Inge Amundsen, Chr.

Focusing on the issue of political corruption, the essays in this collection manage to advance our knowledge about the general theme while providing valuable country studies of some of the highest profile and most intractable of such instances in sub-Saharan Africa.’

NEWGovernance AnalysisCritical Enquiry at the Intersection of Politics, Policy and SocietyEdited by Emma Carmel, University of Bath, UK This state-of-the-art book develops the parameters of ‘governance analysis’ as a critical mode of enquiry. From a synthesis of theoretical approaches to public policy and governance, it offers a critical analytical perspective for empirical research and the development of theories of governance. This perspective is applied to seven detailed examples, from local to international and comparative public policy. Both innovative and unique, Governance Analysis shows that the messy real life of policymaking and its implications can be analysed systematically and insightfully without retreating to outdated ‘models’ of public policymaking or case-specific critique.

TEXTBOOKAdvanced Introduction to Organised CrimeLeslie Holmes, University of Melbourne, Australia, University of Bologna, Italy, Graduate School for Social Research, Poland and People’s University, ChinaOrganised crime has become a major problem globally. Its negative impact on economies, societies, politics, human rights and security is profound, with examples of fraud, money-laundering, drug, arms and human trafficking, and collusion with law enforcement, to name just a few. Yet specialists disagree not only on the scale and nature of organised crime, but even on its definition. This Advanced Introduction to Organised Crime explores these disagreements, examines the nature and causes of contemporary organised crime, and offers constructive suggestions on how to counter it.

Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Political ScienceEdited by Hans Keman and Jaap J. Woldendorp, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands‘It is rare for a book these days to seek to review and draw together the whole range of what political scientists – in many different countries and with many different interests – actually do. Given the divisions in the discipline between quantitative and qualitative, description and theorising, empirical and normative, it is difficult to develop an integrated and coherent discussion, let alone do it well and in sufficient detail to be methodologically and philosophically illuminating. But that is just what the editors and their collaborators have achieved in this fine volume – partly by not evading the difficult issues of what, if anything, the various approaches have in common and what they contribute to each other and to practitioners and politicians in the every day world of politics. All of these questions are confronted head on in the various chapters, some of which provide original technical analyses which could well stand in their own right as contributions to the discipline. None are less than provocative and interesting presentations of their own point of view, whether this be philosophical or methodological – and they all contribute substantial points to the discussion of whether there is disciplinary unity or not.’

NEWA Research Agenda for Military GeographiesEdited by Rachel Woodward, Newcastle University, UK‘Assembled by perhaps the most pivotal figure in the geographic study of militaries and militarisation, these chapters offer provocative reflections and myriad lines of flight for future inquiry. The varied and exciting contributions, including those from several junior scholars, signal both the promise and the significance of the field.’

– Matthew Farish, University of Toronto, CanadaA Research Agenda for Military Geographies explores how military activities and phenomena are shaped by geography, and how geographies are in turn shaped by military practices. A variety of future research agendas are mapped out, examining the questions faced by geographers when studying the military and its effects.

Handbook of Organised Crime and PoliticsEdited by Felia Allum, University of Bath and Stan Gilmour, Thames Valley Police, UK‘The Handbook of Organised Crime and Politics, which reviews studies of the interactions between organised criminals and politicians across about 30 countries from every continent, is a timely and salutary introduction to an importantly growing area of social science. The book is edited by Felia Allum, a senior lecturer in politics at the University of Bath, UK and Stan Gilmour, a local area policing commander in Reading, UK. Such a rare combination of academic and practitioner speaks to the increasing sophistication of some British police officers as well as the embracing of issues of public significance by British academics. But far from being journalistic, or just exhortations to do better, the book is packed with hard-won accounts of the links around the globe between many different forms of systematic criminality and political processes.’

– David Canter
